BackCare – Lothian Branch is a volunteer run organisation, affiliated to the BackCare National charity, offering help and services within the Edinburgh area. It provides:-
• Opportunities to meet others with back or other problems and exchange ideas and information
• Pools with warm water for gentle exercise and swimming.
